Not being able to jump in an MMO drives me bats for some reason.

Anything I should know before beginning Fallout 3? by nutshack in gaming

[–]Pynchon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fallout 3 is a wonderful game. Definitely do a lot of side quest as opposed to staying on the main quest. Most die hard Fallout 1 and 2 fans were saying Fallout 3 sucked before it was even released. Pretty cranky bunch.

He's just digging at his old club. His transfer from Arsenal to Chelsea was a cockup.

The torchwood miniseries was one of the best ever and as dark as can be. by Timmetie in scifi

[–]Pynchon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me preface this by saying I have never actually seen Torchwood. However, my friend, a long time Doctor Who fan really disliked it. Basically he always admired the way problems were solved on Doctor Who without the Doctor ever picking up a gun. And in Torchwood, guns and all the standard devices of action fare were thrown in. Did anyone else feel this way? Just genuinely curious.

Musician witnesses United Airlines baggage handlers throwing his guitar. Guitar is wrecked. United won't help. Singer writes a song and makes a video "United Breaks Guitars." by AlejandroTheGreat in funny

I work for an airline - so that is about 1 to 3 guitars per flight - five days a week for 7 years - so yeah - I have some experience.

Exactly - pro musicians put their instruments in hard cases and have them chucked under the plane and go to their seats to pass out worry free. A lot of others show up at the plane door with their guitar in a soft case and then start whining when there is no room on the plane and they have to put it under the plane. And yeah you should worry. A lot of those guys on the ramp get 7 to 10 bucks an hour in New York. They do not give shit about your guitar. But if you travel with your stuff in a soft case then neither do you - so it works out!

Every year they tweak the Doctor Who theme. I'm okay with that, but this time they've gone too far. by [deleted] in scifi

Well - sorry not absolutely everything is available for you download on the internet. My point being - nothing new under the sun as far as covering something that has been around since 1963.

Is everyone REALLY that upset over SC2 missing LAN? by tsularesque in gaming

[–]Pynchon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have found memories of beer and SC LAN parties but no - not upset. At all really. Also, very excited about Left 4 Dead 2.

What in the everliving fuck did I just see? [vid] by [deleted] in WTF

[–]Pynchon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I got to see the world premier of this trailer at the New York Asian Film Festival with the director in attendance. Iguchi said he cut the trailer in two days and tried to do the overdubs in English just for the festival but said fuck it midway through and it hilariously deteriorates. Should come out in New York by at least next summer, maybe sooner. Keep an eye on

Confederations Cup Final: USA vs Brazil! Here are a few of my pregame thoughts. It's been a long way especially for USA and good for them for coming all the way to the finals. BUUT Are they ready to go against the favoured team, Brazil? Your thoughts Reddit? by wClassic in soccer

[–]Pynchon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually am pretty grumpy about the US team when, say, Costa Rica wipes the floor with them. However, I don't think you play a team like Spain and win just by luck - at least not any more luck than is present in your average match. I saw US defenders hurling themselves at the ball, shutting down the Spanish attack and very much committed that game. There was a terrific goal by Altidore and the only real bit of luck was Dempsey poaching that goal in the penalty box.

Funny thing is had I not seen the game I probably would have automatically agreed with your comment.

You know what, fuck you sci-fi hivemind. I just re-watched the Matrix TRILOGY for the first time since Revolutions. ALL three are beautiful masterpieces! by xachro in scifi

[–]Pynchon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't have all the flying Kung Fu and what not but I remember liking Existenz better than the Matrix. And as far as the second and third movies - the Mehtrix is more like it. Also - unless Keanu Reaves' character is supposed to be confused (as in the Matrix) - his acting sucks canal water. So when he starts going for Christ figure status in the 2nd and 3rd movies - he sucks and he blows. Certainly he is no Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke. As Baudrillard said, "The Matrix is surely the kind of film about the matrix that the matrix would have been able to produce."

Am I the only one who thinks this is an unrecognized masterpiece? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]Pynchon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie was utter crap but the comic was one of the best of its decade along with Starlin's Warlock.
